The inches your insole is quietly eating
I’m Jack Young, and I built Colony Insoles for athletes who don’t want to leave anything on the floor. Here’s something most players never think about. When you load up to explode off the ground, a flat, dead insole swallows part of that energy and hands none of it back. Worse, a foot that caves inward under the load bleeds off power that should be driving you straight up. If you’ve ever felt stuck to the hardwood and a half-step slow off the jump, your inserts could be skimming real height off your vertical, and you’d have no reason to suspect them.

A foot that stays put jumps higher
Every explosive move starts at the floor. To pour maximum force into a jump, your foot has to stay aligned and planted instead of rolling or flattening as you sink into the load. Hold the foot steady and it becomes a solid platform to drive off of, while a responsive footbed gives energy back instead of eating it. Put stability and cushion together and more of your effort goes where you want it, up. The same control that adds to your vertical also tightens your first step, your cuts, and the way you stick a landing.
How ours works for your game
This insole keeps the foot locked in and ready to fire. We built the structured, geometric arch support to hold the foot stable through the loading phase, so power doesn’t leak out sideways right when you need it. The responsive gel and memory foam underneath cushion the hard landings and help spare your joints, jump after jump after jump. It’s the same supportive, shock-absorbing design podiatrists recommend, pointed at your game so you play harder and bounce back faster.
- Structured arch support that turns your foot into a launch platform
- Responsive gel cushioning for explosive, repeatable jumps
- Memory foam that softens the pounding of every landing
- Shock absorption that looks after your ankles and knees
- Fresher legs in the fourth quarter when the game is decided
Is this you?
Hoopers, volleyball players, sprinters, cheerleaders, anyone grinding on their vertical will feel it the first time they lace up. If you take a real beating on landings, read this alongside our comfort insoles page, and athletes with higher arches should also look at high arch support.
Quit donating inches to a worn-out footbed. At $29 a pair, with free USA shipping and a 60-day money-back guarantee, it’s the cheapest upgrade your hops will ever get. Grab a pair and get off the ground.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can insoles really help me jump higher?
An insole won’t replace training, but a stable, energized foot wastes less of the force you generate. When your arch holds firm instead of collapsing under load, more of that explosive push transfers into the ground and back up into your jump. Many athletes notice they feel quicker and more planted off the floor.
How does foot stability affect my vertical?
Explosive movement starts from the ground up, and a foot that flattens under your weight leaks power sideways instead of driving you upward. Our structured arch support keeps the foot aligned so force travels in a straight line. That stability is what lets you load and launch without energy bleeding away.
Will these insoles fit inside my basketball or training shoes?
Yes. They are designed to drop into most athletic shoes in place of the thin factory insole. If you need a closer fit, you can trim along the printed guide lines at the toe to match your exact size before inserting them.
Are these full-length insoles or 3/4 length?
These are full-length insoles, which we recommend for jumping and explosive sports because they support the whole foot from heel to toe. A full-length design keeps cushioning and shock absorption under the forefoot, where you push off when you leave the ground.
What if they don’t improve my game?
Every pair is backed by our risk-free 60-day money-back guarantee, so you can train in them and judge for yourself. If you don’t feel a difference in how planted and explosive you are, just reach out for a refund. Shipping within the USA is always free.
